The smart factory is a metaphor for what manufacturing digitization aims to achieve. A fully digitalized factory floor, known as a "Smart Factory," uses networked devices, gadgets, and production systems to collect and share real-time data. Self-optimizing equipment or the entire organization might use the data to manage problems beforehand, improve manufacturing methods, and satisfy new requests.

Smart factories increasing benefits, such as improved data insights, faster issue resolution, maximized plant efficiency, better safety & quality control, seamless data exchange, on-time delivery, and continual product improvement, are supposed to influence the market's growth over the forecast timeline.

Smart factory owners can employ cellular technologies more securely and customize them for specific use cases with the help of 5G technology. Removing data from manufacturing networks without connecting to the machines is possible by installing sensors on 5G-enabled equipment, enabling seamless real-time optimization. For reliable and robust connections, several firms are implementing 5G networks.

Furthermore, wired connectivity is no longer required by installing a 5G network in factories, allowing for high-speed manufacturing with maximum flexibility and minimal downtime. Having a network that can support in terms of speed, coverage, and reliability becomes essential for industries. The development of the 5G network will offer factories a one-stop shop and open up considerable prospects for smart factories. For instance, in July 2021, Qualcomm started using its advanced 5G technology to enable smart manufacturing by accessing the potential of IoT.

The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the smart factory market as lockdown orders were issued worldwide, which hindered production activities and made it harder to maintain industries. Also, there was a decline in growth due to a barrier to adopting smart manufacturing technology. Industry 4.0 adoption was severely hindered by the pandemic, which ultimately harmed smart industries. However, to avoid infection during a pandemic, the market has mixed impacts during the lockdown. It showed a positive impact from the demand side and quite a negative impact from the supply side.

Moreover, In the post-pandemic era, it is likely to gain large demand for services related to smart factories.

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers
Industrial robot usage has increased dramatically in the last ten years due to its advantages, including high production, consistency in speed and quality, improved workplace safety, and greater floor space utilization. For instance, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), In 2021, 3 million industrial robots were operating in factories around the world.

Additionally, the new robots are simple to use and more energy-efficient than before in many industries. Navigation systems on mobile robots enable them to communicate with other robots and systems. Additionally, robots are making their way into new industries, including plastic, wood, and textiles. As a result, the market for smart factories is expanding due to the growing usage of robots in the manufacturing industry.

Moreover, technological trend such as augmented reality is supposed to boost the smart factory market. The perception and presentation of a real-time scenario are improved through augmented reality. A compatible device, such as a smartphone camera, HMI, or any smart eyewear, is used to make it by superimposing digital information on an image of something. These gadgets are typically voice-activated, enabling hands-free use by the user.

Additionally, engineers can produce a whole augmented reality (AR) experience demonstrating to manufacturing technicians how to maintain the machinery on the factory floor due to the convergence of machine learning and physics-based modeling. Augmented reality (AR) is being used by businesses to increase production activity and enhance production procedures on the factory floor. Augmented reality implementation into industrial processes has increased employee productivity and has driven the market’s growth.
